Legendary record producer Clive Davis surprised ‘American Idol’ runner-up Clay Aiken on ‘Good Morning America’ and presented him with a plaque that is double platinum after his new album ‘Measure of a Man’ sold over 600,000 copies in its first week. The flattered Aiken expressed his gratitude: “Every single day and every single thing that happens to me gets bigger and better than the last thing!” Davis said, “It’s an extraordinary thing when the public really has not only loved his music, but has rushed out at these unprecedented numbers to want to own his CD.” Aiken added, “I’m baffled at why people are so interested, but it’s fun to be me right now!”

Clive Davis is responsible for Whitney Houston Aretha Franklin Alica Keys Bruce Springsteen and you call him evil because he rid of O-town because their 15 minutes of fame was over. Give me a break Clive Davis is the man the myth the legend. Don’t hate because on him because O-town second album did poorly

Clive Davis is an ass period. He doesn’t support his artists…why the hell would you sign an artist or band, put a ton of money into them and not support them?? That’s pretty crappy if you ask me. O-Town has real talent. Have you ever seen Making the band (the original)??? If you have then you would understand where I am coming from. O-Town tried and tried to get Clive to listen to them and let them write their own material for their album. He wouldn’t let them!! He is an ass!! He doesn’t know good music!! He is just an old man who sits behind a desk and refuses to let the artists/bands do their own damn music!

Clive Davis discovered Alicia Keys too … and he let her record her own material, because it was good. Just because someone attempts to write a song doesn’t mean the song is worth a crap. A song needs to be commercial for a record company to want to release it. Just because O-Town wanted to write their own songs doesn’t mean the songs were good enough for release.

GO CLAY!! Clay deserves every bit of his success. Just because few people on popdirt.com love Clay doesn’t mean he’s a loser. He sold more than 600,000 CD’s in one week — that’s hardly loser numbers. Get over yourselves.

Alicia who??? where the hell has she been for the past 2 almost 3 years????????? NOWHERE!! She’s a one hit wonder…she’s over…no one remembers or cares about her anymore!

oh yeah and as far as O-Towns unreleased songs not being good enough for release….ask any O-Town fan…those are the best songs!! ‘American Game’ was one of the songs O-Town REALLY wanted on the album and Clive didn’t “think it would be a hit” and its one of the most downloaded songs by O-Town…they performed it in concert and everyone loves it!!!! Clive doesn’t know crap.
